Step by step for a dream cake:

1. Preparing the first layer (large layer)
Start by separating the 8 eggs into two bowls. Each time you separate the eggs, make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites, or they won't whip properly. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks and beat with a whisk or mixer until they become a light-colored foam.

In another bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy, then add the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm meringue. This is the key to a fluffy layer!

Now, add the yolk mixture to the egg whites. Use a spatula to gently fold in the ingredients, being careful not to lose the air. Next, sprinkle the 8 tablespoons of flour in gradually, mixing gently until it becomes a homogeneous composition.

2. Baking the first layer
Grease a large baking pan with margarine and dust it with flour to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Once baked, let it cool completely.

3. Preparing the second layer (medium layer)
Repeat the process with the 6 eggs: separate them, add 3 tablespoons of sugar to each bowl, and beat them similarly. Then add 6 tablespoons of flour, mixing gently. Use a slightly smaller pan to bake this layer for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool and cut it in half.

4. Preparing the third layer (small layer)
For the last layer, take the 4 eggs and separate them. Follow the same process: add 2 tablespoons of sugar to each bowl and 4 tablespoons of flour. Bake it in the smallest pan for 20-25 minutes and then let it cool.

5. Assembling the cake
Start with the first large layer. Soak it well with the juice from the peach compote to add moisture and flavor. Prepare the chocolate cream from the store according to the instructions on the package and add diced peaches. Spread the cream over the first layer.

Then take the second layer, soak it, and add the vanilla cream, followed by pieces of pineapple. Continue with the third layer, soak it, and add the lemon cream. Assemble in the same way with the last layers, alternating between layers of cream and fruits for a delicious contrast of flavors.

6. Decorating the cake
After placing all the layers, prepare the whipped cream according to the instructions on the package. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake and, using a decorating syringe, create shapes on the surface of the cake. Finally, sprinkle grated chocolate on top for an enticing look.

Helpful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform composition.
- You can replace the peach compote with any other preferred compote, such as cherry or plum compote, to vary the flavors.
- If you prefer, you can also add ground nuts between the layers for an extra texture.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use farm eggs? Yes, farm eggs can bring a richer taste and a more vibrant color to the layers.
- How can I prevent the layers from sticking to the pan? Make sure to grease the pans well with margarine and use flour for dusting. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper.
- How long can I keep the cake? The cake keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days, but it is best enjoyed in the first 48 hours.

Now you are ready to impress family and friends with this splendid cake! I encourage you to experiment and add your personal touch. Perhaps a drizzle of caramel or a fresh fruit sauce would do wonders? Cooking is an art, and you are the artist! Enjoy your meal!
